Resilient Bio-Resources: Botanical identity, medicinal potential, and processing of Capparis spinosa L

600 دج

✍️ Author: Dr. LAKHDARI Chafika Capparis spinosa L., the caper bush, thrives where few crops survive. Long valued in traditional medicine and regional gastronomy, this xerophytic species shows how environmental stress drives the synthesis of valuable secondary metabolites. This book offers an examination of the species in four chapters. The first traces its origin, taxonomy, ecology and geographical distribution, with particular attention to capers in Algeria. The second describes the plant's structure and composition: nutrients, minerals, phenolics, flavonoids such as rutin, alkaloids and sulfur-containing glucosinolates. The third sets traditional ethnomedicinal uses against modern pharmacological findings, from antidiabetic and antioxidant to anti-inflammatory activity. The fourth covers harvesting, size grading, dry and wet brining, drying and packaging. By bringing botanical data, biochemistry, bioactivity studies and processing protocols into one resource, it bridges wild harvesting and controlled industrial application. For researchers, agronomists and industry professionals. #AdlisBellezma #أدليس_بلزمة #CapparisSpinosa #Capers #MedicinalPlants #Phytochemistry #NewBooks
